Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher and polarising as they come. Many find Opus V lacks imagination, smells of bleach, or is just 'meh', but its few devotees hail it as a masterpiece of creamy orris and subtle woods. Definitely not a blind buy.
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Gucci Bloom (2017) - rangoon creeper, tuberose and orris root translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
